Home.

[mrissa]

I am home safely.

Until about the time I usually go to bed, I was extremely relaxed about the prospect of tomorrow's chores. Then I got...kinda fidgety. "One more thing...okay, but one more...okay, but one more."

There will be several more things before I go to bed. But small ones, I hope.

Also, Certain Parties are not in my good graces for killing off my favorite characters in their recent novels, and you KNOW WHO YOU ARE, MOLE AND BEAR.

Also, my brain thinks that it may be time to revise What We Did now. Which it is not. It's not even time to do it tomorrow. It may, however, be time to jot little notes about revision in my paper journal. That part's fine. I think.

Welcome home! :-)

I don't think that works quite as well as Moose and Squirrel.

I cannot help it. I didn't name them.

-gravely- Scanning. It's all down to how it scans.

Just that one missing syllable. Alas!

-grins- Now I really want to re-read _Wind in the Willows_. For no real reason, except that seeing "Mole and" makes me think of that book. Was it Mole or Frog Toad with the little car? And should I be disturbed that I could remember that Kenneth Grahame wrote it?

... when I can't remember how many Trixie Belden books I read before eighth grade, mere years later--yet I adored Trixie Belden! Heh. Perhaps I'm just fickle. :D

Mr. Toad is the one with all the transportation whatsits. And no, of course you shouldn't be disturbed! It's one of the classics.

-grins- Good!

Hmm. The first time I saw "mole" in print that sticks out in my mind was in a Christopher Stasheff book. And I couldn't figure out why Rod Gallowglass was saying, "Art there, old mole?" to Fess. I kept wondering why he was referring to Mole.

I could see it was a quote, and funny by context, but not why. That troubled me. I'd read Shakespeare in prose editions long before I read the plays themselves.

It's Toad who had the car. But it was Mole who went out of his little hole one day because it was the right sort of day for messing about on the river.

Thank you!

I think I will go find it and re-read it. I discovered that re-reading _The Boxcar Children_ was very pleasant not long since. Some things stay just right in your memory, unchanged, and that is a happy thing.

I knew I liked Mole for some reason.

p.s. Have a very lovely Farthing party, milady hostess.

I swear on my stack of complete Shakespeares that I DID NOT WANT TO DO IT.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's all very well, but it was done, wasn't it? Hmmmmm?

It's not that I don't believe you.

Glad you made it home safely. :)

Brains can be uncooperative like that. =/ It's tough to show them who's boss, though. :P
